Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of NCLEX-RN® failure and guide nursing program support and resources for at-risk students.
Background: Prelicensure nursing programs have adopted stringent admission and progression policies and often delay student testing based on known predictors of NCLEX-RN success. Students also delay scheduling the exam based on their perceived level of test readiness. There is a gap in the literature associated with predictors of NCLEX-RN failure.
Method: A retrospective predictive analysis was conducted on 3,396 graduates for the period 2018 through 2022 using demographic characteristics and academic metrics as variables.
Results: Students who were men and students with increased lag time to take the NCLEX-RN (>45 days between graduation and initial attempt) were significantly more likely to fail.
Conclusion: Nursing programs using only known predictors of success for admission and progression decisions exclude students who could be successful if given the opportunity.
期刊介绍：
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
